A 30-yard stunner from Niall Hylton was enough to give Carlton Town a 1-0 victory over Cleethorpes Town at Stoke Lane.
In a fiercely fought contest the Owls twice hit the woodwork but the Millers had three strong penalty claims turned down and will feel they did enough in the second half to merit a first ever home victory against Clee. On the negative side however Lewis Durow became the latest Carlton player to be sent off – the third in the last four matches – and he faces a one match ban with the squad already very stretched.
Carlton went into the game with the welcome news that loan signing Peter Dearle had made permanent his move from Basford Utd. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the game was on after the snow and rain of the previous two days. That the pitch was not only playable but held up remarkably well was a testament to the work of groundsman Swifty.
The Millers made one change to the side which lost at Consett last time out, with Greg Tempest returning in place of the suspended Lamin Manneh. With Alex Hardwick also suspended, that meant a centre-forward role for Alex Howes, with Niall Davie in support.
Carlton began well enough and in just the fourth minute a clever lob from Dearle only just cleared the Owls crossbar, before visiting goalkeeper James McKeown made a fine save from Hylton after a flowing move involving Tempest and David Adegbola.
But as the half progressed, Cleethorpes started to take control with captain Alex Flett and wide man Curtis Bateson particularly prominent. Felix Annan made an excellent save from Bateson as he hit a first time shot from the left hand edge of the penalty area after a flowing move down the right.
Flett then forced his way into the box before hitting a shot that looped up off Dean Freeman, hit Annan’s right hand post and dropped back into the arms of the grateful goalkeeper.
Just after the half hour came the first of Carlton’s penalty claims when Dearle was dragged to the floor by Jordan Cooke trying to get on the end of a Tempest corner but the referee wasn’t interested.
Cleethorpes kept pushing forward, particularly down the left and the full back pairing of Khyle Sargent and Durow were kept very busy. But they were effective in nullifying the threat and when the ball did get into the middle, Dearle and Freeman were having excellent games.
Howes headed just wide from a Durow cross shortly before half time but it was in the second period that Carlton upped their game. That was only after Cleethorpes came desperately close to opening the scoring when a run and shot from Brody Robertson beat everyone, hit the post and rebounded just out of reach of William Annan.
The Millers opened the scoring just a minute later with a fabulous goal. Sargent played the ball forward down the right and there seemed little on when Howes flicked the ball to Hylton a long way from goal. But he took a couple of touches and then launched a thunderbolt that sailed high over McKeown and into the corner of the net.
Carlton continued to attack and Davie drew a fine save from McKeown with a drive from a tight angle before Carlton saw their second strong penalty appeal turned down when the impressive Tempest latched onto a weak backpass by Leon Dawson, prodded the ball past McKeown and was then brought down by the keeper. With Carlton claiming a penalty and Cleethorpes claiming a dive, the referee adjudged the fall to be a slip and simply played on.
Cleethorpes kept looking for a way into the game and one effort was lifted over the bar from a good position but in general terms it was Carlton who looked more like scoring. Michael Ford was having a solid game in the middle alongside Tempest and Davie with Adegbola and Hylton looking to get forward to assist Howes. On 82 minutes came Carlton’s third penalty shout and this seemed to be the clearest of the lot.
Substitute Musa Jawarra had done well to set up Howes in the area. His shot was excellently saved by McKeown. The ball was knocked back into the area by fellow substitute Zac Hill before eventually being half cleared to the right side of the penalty area. Hylton beat Louis Boyd to the loose ball and was brought down for what looked a stonewall penalty, but neither the referee nor his assistant, standing a few yards away with an excellent view, were interested.
It was plainly all too much for Durow and shortly after this he received a second yellow card for dissent and was sent off. Carlton had to play the final five minutes of normal time plus six added minutes with 10 men, but they kept their shape and although there were a couple of nervous moments the Millers held on to record a welcome win.

Judas Priest, an icon in the world of heavy metal, has captivated fans for decades. Their electrifying performances and groundbreaking music have set the bar high in the genre. With a legacy spanning over 50 years, they continue to draw crowds of devoted fans to their concerts.
Securing tickets to their shows can be a challenging task, given their immense popularity. However, with the right strategies, you can snag great deals. This article offers practical tips to help you breeze through the ticket-buying process and secure a place at their concerts.
Tip 1: Understand Ticket Pricing
Securing the best deals on tickets starts with understanding how ticket pricing works. Here are key factors:
Venue Size: Larger venues often have more affordable tickets due to higher supply, while smaller venues can be pricier.
Dynamic Pricing: Ticket prices can fluctuate based on demand and time remaining before the event.
Weekday Vs. Weekend: Weekday shows usually offer lower prices compared to weekend performances.
Seat Location: Seats closer to the stage are generally more expensive, while those further away can be more budget-friendly.
With these insights, you’re better equipped to master the ticket market for your favourite metal band’s concerts.
Tip 2: Time Your Purchase
Choosing the right moment to buy tickets can significantly impact the price. A crucial part of this is keeping track of the Judas Priest tour schedule 2024. Observe the following to avoid paying a premium:
Buy Early Or Late: Consider purchasing tickets right after they’re released for early bird deals, or wait for last-minute discounts as sellers look to fill seats.
Monitor Price Trends: Keep an eye on ticket prices over time, as they might decrease as the concert date gets closer.
Avoid Peak Demand: Avoid buying tickets immediately after announcements or big promotions, when prices most likely soar due to high demand.
Timing is crucial, so be strategic and vigilant to secure the best deals.

Tip 3: Take Advantage Of Presales And Fan Clubs
Securing early access to tickets generally offers the first pick of seats and the potential for discounted prices. Here’s how:
Join The Fan Club: Being a member of the official fan club typically grants early access to tickets. This can mean getting a better selection at lower prices before the general public rush.
Check Credit Card Privileges: Some credit cards offer presale benefits for concerts. Check if your card provides such advantages, which can give you a head start in the buying process.
Look For Promotional Presales: Keep an eye out for promotional presales, which may be offered through various platforms like music apps.
Make the most of these presale opportunities to get tickets at more reasonable prices.
Tip 4: Explore The Secondary Market Safely
The secondary market can be a treasure trove for ticket deals. It’s a place where tickets are resold by individuals or businesses, often offering a chance to score tickets to sold-out shows or find deals below the box office price. However, you need to be extra careful.
Compare Reseller Platforms: Not all ticket reselling sites are created equal. Compare fees, reputation, and user reviews to choose the best platform.
Verify Authenticity: Ensure the tickets you’re buying are authentic. Look for guarantees or protections offered by the reselling platform.
Assess Seller Reliability: Check the seller’s transaction history and customer feedback to gauge their trustworthiness.
By being cautious and informed, you can find great deals without falling prey to fraud.
Tip 5: Stay Alert On Social Media And Forums
In the digital age, social media and online forums have become invaluable resources for ticket deals. They offer a platform for real-time updates and fan interactions, which can lead to unexpected opportunities:
Follow Official Channels: Stay updated with the band’s official social media pages and website. They usually announce special deals, presales, or last-minute ticket releases.
Engage In Fan Forums: Participate in fan forums and groups. Fellow fans sometimes sell tickets at face value or share information about deals.
Use Alerts And Hashtags: Set up alerts for Judas Priest tickets on social platforms and use relevant hashtags to find posts about ticket sales.
By actively engaging in these digital spaces, you can uncover excellent ticket opportunities at reasonable prices, ensuring you don’t miss out on seeing the iconic metal band live.
Tip 7: Be Aware Of Scams
In the excitement of securing tickets, it’s important not to let your guard down. The ticket market, while full of opportunities, can also be a breeding ground for scams. Here’s how to be vigilant against rip-offs:
Recognize Common Scams: Familiarize yourself with common scam tactics such as fake websites, phishing emails, and too-good-to-be-true offers.
Use Secure Payment Methods: Opt for payment methods that offer some level of protection or dispute resolution, like credit cards or secure online payment systems.
Research and Verify: Conduct thorough research on any unfamiliar ticket selling platforms, and verify the legitimacy of ticket offers through multiple sources.
Remember, staying alert and informed is your best defence against scams.
Parting Words
The strategies detailed above – from timing your purchase to staying alert for scams – can guide you to snagging the best ticket deals. Remember, a little preparation and vigilance can lead to not just savings but also a more enjoyable concert experience.
As you apply these tips, anticipate the exhilaration of the live show. Enjoy the music, the energy of the crowd, and the satisfaction of having found your way to an unforgettable experience with savvy and insight.
New data has revealed the top ten most affordable Premier League clubs for football fans.
The research, conducted by betting experts Smart Betting Guide, analysed various costs of attending football matches in the UK. This includes, but is not limited to, the cheapest available season tickets, transport and the average price of a home football shirt.
Burnley comes out on top as the cheapest club to be a fan of. Based in the North West of England, this football club has the lowest costs associated with being a fan, including the most affordable price for both an official home t-shirt at £55 and an average overnight hotel for two adults at £91.72.
West Ham United takes the silver medal. If fans wanted to buy season tickets at London Stadium based in Stratford, it would cost only £310. This is the most inexpensive season ticket of any Premier League club.
Sheffield United is the third most affordable Premier League club for football fans. The stadium, Bramhall Lane, is located just on the outskirts of Sheffield’s city centre; Transport in this area is the sixth cheapest, with taxis having a standard fare of £14.40 on a standard tariff. The average price of a one-night stay for two adults is also the fifth cheapest at £148.42.
In fourth place is Brentford. Based in West London, Gtech Community Stadium has season tickets available for £419; the third lowest price of any Premier League club, tying for bronze with Sheffield United. Brentford also has the fourth least expensive official home football t-shirt at £60.
In fifth place is the Wolverhampton Wanderers. Based in the West Midlands, taxis are the second least expensive for fans, with standard costs being £12 on a normal tariff. A one-night hotel stay for two adults also averages at £119.29, the second cheapest in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest is the sixth cheapest Premier League club to be a fan of. This is followed by Newcastle United in seventh place, Luton Town in eighth place and Manchester City in ninth place. Crystal Palace rounds out the top ten cheapest Premier League clubs for fans.
Zigmas Pekarskas, CEO of Smart Betting Guide, commented on the study: “The Premier League is the most popular sports tournament in the world. As a landmark of Great British history stretching back to the 19th century, it’s no surprise that over 4.7 billion people tune in to watch the exhilarating 38 matches.
“This study reveals the top ten least expensive clubs to be a fan of. To decide which clubs should make the list, all usual expenses of football fans were taken into consideration, from season tickets to football shirts and overnight stays for those seeing matches in other cities. All elements of the day were also considered.
“Burnley takes the crown. They are accompanied by other clubs in the North of England – Sheffield, Newcastle United and Manchester City – although it is interesting to see multiple London-based clubs in the top ten – West Ham United, Luton Town and Crystal Palace – as the South is usually associated with higher costs for transport, hotels and food.”

A new book titled ‘More Than A Touch of Jeanious’ opens the lid on the golden years of Wrangler jeans from its birth in the USA to an international fashion brand, the role Nottinghamshire played in its success, and its importance in the county’s industrial heritage.
The book plots the rise of Wrangler Jeans in the UK from the early 1970s to 1991 through its base in Calverton in north Nottinghamshire, and a state of art manufacturing centre at Falkirk in Scotland.
Calverton literally launched the jeans brand in the UK where its warehousing and distribution, sales teams and marketing hub were based.
The author, Robin Dilley was the man in charge of making the name and garment range a ‘must have’. 20th century iconic cultural names, from Jimmi Hendrix to Hazel O’Connor, fronted advertising and promotional campaigns, and Freddy Mercury strutted his stuff in Wrangler jeans during the 1985 global ‘Live Aid’ concert.

The book, available on Amazon, will be of interest to anyone interested in fashion, history, textiles, sales, marketing, and shopping. It tracks how an 18th century fabric made in Nimes, in France, evolved into a wardrobe staple.
Across three hundred years the robust cotton fabric was used to produce sturdy clothing for agricultural workers and seafarers, to sails for working boats, then cowboy gear, then into an international fashion wardrobe essential.
Wrangler also broke new ground in sports sponsorship with both Nottingham Forest and Notts County and former employees can enjoy reading the story they contributed to.
Robin Dilley sets the story against a backdrop of social and political history when Wrangler ‘grew up.’ The period included inflation and industrial action in the UK, The ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, the Cold War, the Falklands War, hostilities in Libya and the fall of the Berlin wall.

A new CCTV camera will be installed outside a row of shops in Burton Joyce after a bus stop was vandalised.
The 12 metre-tall CCTV camera will be located near the corner of Wheatsheaf Court and Main Road outside the main door to the Nottinghamshire Hospice Charity Shop.
A planning application for the installation of the camera was given the green light at a Gedling Borough Council planning meeting on November 30.
Speaking after the meeting, Cllr Sam Smith (Con) told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “I’m really pleased that the CCTV now has permission to be installed and I voted in favour of it.
“The CCTV will cover the shops on Main Street, the Co-op car park, Cross Keys pub and surrounding roads.
“It’ll help to make people feel safer.
“There’s been some anti-social behaviour, including damage to the bus-stop outside the Co-op, which the CCTV should now help to prevent.”
In November last year similar proposals were considered but not implemented.
The new “more appropriate” proposals will make sure the camera is more central in the run of shops to avoid tactile paving in the highway.
Since the publication of the plans before the meeting, one letter of objection was received.
A resident raised concerns over the CCTV impinging on their privacy, as it may overlook their home.
However, a council officer said: “The purpose of the camera is to view the public realm in terms of deterring crime and anti-social behaviour, it is not to stare at individual properties and impinge on human rights.”
Cllr Ruth Strong (Lab) also asked that consideration for people getting off at the nearby bus stop would be given, with the pavement already cluttered with street furniture.
Documents state the camera post would be sited close to other street furniture including a bin, street light, bus stop and post box.
“Just wanted to say it is a jolly good idea but having been there earlier today at the bus stop my only concern is that it doesn’t obstruct people getting off,” she said.
“I trust the installers will take this into account when the work is done.”

Catch-up Screenings: The Great Escaper (12A)

In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story.
It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man’s need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war. Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Rene (Glenda Jackson) – The Great Escaper celebrates their enduring love but always with an eye to the lessons we might learn from the Greatest Generation.
